Fast, Fun and For Everyone...

Back for a second year, TriWorks are proud to present the East Fortune Duathlon. An exciting new event on the Scottish multisport calendar and Scotland’s only draft-legal multisport race.

The event takes place at East Fortune motor racing circuit which ensures fast and fun racing around the smooth tarmac and sweeping bends of this exciting course.

"Brilliantly organised, communicated, marshalled, and planned. Probably the best multisport event I’ve competed in and a great concept."

If this is your first duathlon, this is the perfect race for you. Expect a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and a flat, safe and fun course. We also have a non-drafting wave which is perfect if you want to build up your confidence on the bike or just want to focus on your own race.

"Loved cycling around the racetrack. Great venue. I was one of the slower competitors and I appreciated the support from the organisers and marshals. I felt that I was welcome at the event."

"Well organised, friendly and accessible for newbies to the duathlon

If you fancy something a bit different, come and enjoy the fast, fun and tactical nature of draft-legal racing. The race track is 11m wide, so there is plenty of space for everybody. The track is very safe and not too technical, with long sweeping bends and excellent visibility, but if you wish there is plenty of opportunity for drafting to inject a bit of excitement into your race.

Draft-Legal Sprint Duathlon (including 2025 European Championships Age Group Qualifier)

The Sprint Distance Draft-Legal Duathlon consists of a 5km run, followed by a 20km bike and finishing with a 2.5km run. There will be a separate Female Wave alongside an Open Wave (in accordance with British Triathlon’s Transgender Policy).

We are delighted to announce that the 2024 East Fortune Duathlon will be a qualifier for the European Sprint Distance Duathlon Championships in 2025.

To be eligible to qualify you must be either a Core or Ultimate Home Nations member and be a British Citizen. You must also register to qualify before the race via the British Triathlon website.

Non-Drafting Sprint Duathlon

The Non-Drafting Sprint Duathlon also consists of a 5km run, followed by a 20km bike and finishing with a 2.5km run on the same course. There will be a single Open Wave and cyclists will be required to maintain a 10m distance from the rider in front unless they are overtaking. This is the perfect race if you are new to the sport or want to gain more confidence on the bike before joining a draft-legal race.

Junior Super Sprint Duathlon

We are also offering a range of super sprint duathlons for the Tristar 1, 2, 3 and Youth age groups. We are excited to be supporting the next generation of athletes and helping encourage juniors into the wonderful world of multisport racing.
